I call to order meeting number 5 of the Standing Committee on Finance. Pursuant to Standing Order 83.1, we are continuing our pre-budget consultations 2013.
Colleagues, we have six organizations as witnesses for this first panel, and we will have two panels today as well.
First of all we have the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada, and then the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Forest Products Association of Canada, the Greater Kitchener Waterloo Chamber of Commerce, and the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. All are with us here in Ottawa, and by video conference from Toronto we have Polytechnics Canada.
Ms. Robinson, can you hear me okay in Toronto?
